Silver State National Peace Officers Museum

This is a fun little museum in a former county jail. The entrance is through a heavy, wrought iron jail door gate. There are displays in the gated cells of badges, news articles, and artifacts from police forces of various cities. There is also a display of officers who appeared in TV shows and movies. Visitors can put on police costumes and take pictures. Admission is five dollars.
